The emulator resource page at http://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources/JPC.html has instructions that don't seem to work, as well as a mediafire link to a deleted file. I'm trying to set up JPC-RR, but I can't make a DOS floppy image and the bad mediafire I mentioned was the preconstructed one. In particular, when I try to use the FreeDos floppy .img file, it defaults to 1 Side, 63 Sectors, and "Unsatisfiable" Tracks. If additional steps are needed to import the floppy image, that should be mentioned in the instructions rather than glossed over with a vague instruction to use the same tool as when creating the game HD image (which, by the way, worked fine as written, so I doubt I'm missing a step). The resource page should probably be updated, and some help in the meantime would be appreciated.

2 sides, 18 sectors (giving 80 tracks) most likely. Can't properly test, because whatever version of Java install I have seems royally screwed. The .img file should be 1,474,560 bytes in size.

Well, not sure if this is helpful, but I have Java 7 Update 17 installed and I seem to be able to open the emulator. But that JPC revision according to the Version INFO is "11.6-WIP". I'll check 11.7 now. Edit: It works.* *Haven't tried any games yet.

Yeah, that works. It's also what "Standard Geometry" sets the sides/sectors/tracks to, but I recall testing it and "Import" remaining grayed out. Perhaps I was doing things out of order earlier. The mediafire link should still probably be updated or replaced, though.
